Katz Media Group Raises Over $34,000 for Broadcasters Foundation of America

May 4, 2018

The 9th Annual Katz Media Group Membership Drive Raises Over $34,000 for the Broadcasters Foundation of America

Broadcasters Foundation of America announces Katz Media Group has raised over $34,000 for the Foundation during its ninth annual two-week company-wide membership drive.  All money raised supports the Foundation’s mission to improve the quality of life and maintain the personal dignity of radio and television broadcast professionals, who find themselves in acute need.

The Katz Membership Drive was initiated in 2010 by Stu Olds, the former Chief Executive Officer of Katz Media Group.  The drive has continued annually, raising over $300,000 since its inception. All money raised during the drive goes to the Stu Olds Memorial Fund, which was established following the beloved industry leader’s passing in 2011. Olds served on the Foundation’s Board of Directors for many years as well as Mark Gray, Chief Executive Officer of Katz Media Group, and Leo MacCourtney, President of Katz Television Group.

“Katz Media Group has been a longtime champion of the Broadcasters Foundation. We are extremely grateful to the Katz family for their belief in ‘giving back’ and continuing this charitable tradition.  Their annual donation makes a huge impact for our colleagues in need,” commented Jim Thompson, President of the Broadcasters Foundation of America.

“It is our honor to continue Stu’s legacy and give back to our incredible industry,” stated Mark Gray, Chief Executive Officer for Katz Media Group. “As a board member, I have seen first-hand all the good they do.  The turnkey fundraising program is easy for companies to implement. There is no obligation for employees to participate, yet every year I am immensely proud and appreciative of the continued generosity of the Katz team.”
